How to create VS2013 like frameless window with dark style

mrjj

Hi you dont need to add it there you can add anywhere but you must NEW it then

and not as local variable as then it runs out of scope.

So what i mean is just to do
FramelessWindow * framelessWindow2 = new FramelessWindow ;

and not just
FramelessWindow framelessWindow2; // this is a local variable and as soon as
on_pushButton_clicked ends , it will be deleted

so you have to new it

i do what you say
this time second window open when i click button
but old blank frameless window still open too

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
    // ----- Hide old Window and show new window ----- //
     hide();
     FramelessWindow * framelessWindow2 = new FramelessWindow ;
     // style our application with custom dark style
     setStyle(new DarkStyle);
     //framelessWindow.setWindowState(Qt::WindowMaximized);
     framelessWindow2->setWindowTitle("test");
     framelessWindow2->setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/png/sr-removebg-preview.png"));

     // create our mainwindow instance
     MainWindow2 *mainwindow2 = new MainWindow2;

     // add the mainwindow to our custom frameless window
     framelessWindow2->setContent(mainwindow2);
     framelessWindow2->show();
}

The other empty one, is that from you create 2 in main.cpp or
do you only create one there?

Ok i think we need to hide the parent too.
instead of
// ----- Hide old Window and show new window ----- //
hide();
try
parentWidget()->hide();
to hide the framelss instead of the MainWIn we put inside.

still two window
but this time with this look

Hmm so apparently the FrameLess is not the actual parent. must be a holding frame or something.
(i dont have it installed )

try
if (parentWidget()->parentWidget())
parentWidget()->parentWidget()->hide();

and see if thats enough :)

Hmm very odd. I think it might be something stil from FrameLess but not sure what it is.

you think there is no way to fix that?
i use it for my whole project

Hi
Im pretty sure all of it can be hidden as its just widgets but not sure
what that invisible caption really is.
inside it just does
ui->windowContent->layout()->addWidget(w);

so parentWidget()->parentWidget()->hide(); should do it but
maybe there is something else it creates like maybe the fake caption we can see of something like that.

@mrjj there is anything i can do with it?
this framelees is really good but if only i can fix this problem

mrjj

@saeid0034
Dont worry, we will nail it.

replace

if (parentWidget()->parentWidget())
parentWidget()->parentWidget()->hide();

with

  auto w = parentWidget();
    while ( w ) {
        w->hide();
        w = w->parentWidget();
    }

this hides the sample it comes with. Nothing in alt+tab after. So i cross fingers :)
